Topical Care for Rosacea

Cleansers for Rosacea

Go MILD! Your Rosacea already spells sensitive so you want to be sure your cleanser isn’t adding to the problem. High-lathering cleansers generally mean they are stripping necessary moisture. There are physician-recommended cleansers in our office, and many work hand in hand with treatment creams and gels. One other option at your drugstore is a cleanser with ceramides (Cerave comes to mind). A little further down the list is Cetaphil and Dove (fragrance free).

Toners for Rosacea

The take away here is “don’t”. unless on the advice of a doctor. Most toners contain alcohol, a certain irritant to Rosacea skin.
